According to Associated Press, ten of the children who were picked up during the operation were reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Argentine mom seeks daughter forced into prostitution

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (CNN) -- When Susana Trimarco's daughter Marita Veron was 23, she vanished from their hometown in Argentina, a suspected victim of a human trafficking and prostitution ring with links throughout Latin America and Europe.

Trimarco, 54, has spent the past 6½ years searching for her daughter, often putting herself at risk. While chasing down leads on Marita's whereabouts, she's entered dark and dangerous brothels and confronted pimps and politicians who, she says, are complicit in her daughter's disappearance.

She has won accolades throughout Latin America, Europe and the United States for her work. But Marita is nowhere to be found.

"Marita is a wonderful and caring girl. My life will be completely absorbed with this fight until she is back and safe," Trimarco said.
